Carol Shields

These are frightening times...when she feels herself annointed by loneliness.

Carol Shields

The larger loneliness of our lives evolves from our unwillingness to spend ourselves, stir ourselves. We are always damping down our inner weather, permitting ourselves the comforts of postponement, of rehearsals

C. S. Lewis

And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that it contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good.

Alan Ladd

Being a good host offsets the deprivation and loneliness of my youth

Charles Caleb Colton

Let those who would affect singularity with success first determine to be very virtuous, and they will be sure to be very singular.

Brian Tracy

If you associate with turkeys, you will never fly with the eagles.

Bill Moyers

I've always thought the American eagle needed a left wing and a right wing. The right wing would see to it that economic interests had their legitimate concerns addressed. The left wing would see to it that ordinary people were included in the bargain. Both would keep the great bird on course. But with two right wings or two left wings, it's no longer an eagle and it's going to crash.

Charles Spurgeon

To pray is to mount on eagle's wings above the clouds and get into the clear heaven where God dwelleth.

Charles Dickens

Liberty, equality, fraternity, or death; - the last, much the easiest to bestow, O Guillotine!

Charles Spurgeon
